We talk to Marie Olson Brown, IKEA’s global talent leader, to find out which talent project she is most proud of, and why. IKEA is a global home furnishing business that supplies stylish, great quality and low‑priced products to its customers around the world.

They aim to improve the everyday experiences of people within their homes, empowered by a culture that is built on ‘enthusiasm, togetherness and a “get‑it‑done”‑attitude’. These traits are vital within their workforces to deliver the best customer experience possible, but changing times mean that their talent initiatives now require this and more.
